Summary
"Nonbinary manga artist Poppy Pesuyama is excited when forms offer the option to choose 'neither' for gender and thrilled about their new job working as an assistant for manga artist X! But then he sexually harasses them, treating them first like a girl and then like something less than human. It only lasts a few months, but in some ways it never ends. When they finally feel able to confront him about it, they get an apology but not really the closure they were looking for. It turns out his reason for upending Pesuyama's life was simple. He just could. Knowing that ugly truth really doesn't help Pesuyama at all, and so now they begin a new step in their journey as a nonbinary manga artist--therapy! What will Pesuyama discover about gender, society, and loving yourself in this final volume?"--
